Oh my gosh LOL! Have you looked at rents in Chicago!!!
Basic tiny (1000 sq ft) 2 bedroom (we have kids) is now over $3000/mo with parking. We pay nowhere near that and got this place for unbelievably cheap as the guy wanted a 2 year lease and no one would commit. But by the time we signed the lease (1 week later ) he had 7 people lined up offering $800/mo more than we are paying all hoping we would fail to sign the lease or fail the credit check. We are paying $300 LESS per month than we paid in 1994 (the last time we lived downtown), albeit in a much smaller place (that was 1700 sq ft). Also by selling our place and renting for the 24 mos. we save $8000 in property taxes on a condo, and $850/mo on what our mortgage and assessments were.
Still high to us, but this is a limited time deal and then WE ARE OUT OF HERE!
Yes it is way over a car payment but we drive a paid off 2003 Explorer with 180,000 miles on it:)
Noise still here but earplugs for DH and pillow over my head made it a little better. And we leave tonight for 5 days to BOL. (Happy dance here!)
Today, I will be happier than a bird with a french fry!
Just a little something to start your day off right!

Sunny, snowy and beautiful today. Got all my wash done, trying to ""clean a tenderloin" (butcher help needed here!), vacuumed, cooked - all in all a great day!
There’s the secret to a long and happy life. I was wondering whether I should shovel the snow off my roof or not, it’s insulation for my old place. The wood box is empty and I need to break a trail with the 4 wheeler so my dogs can go for a run. Is it ever nice to see the days slowly getting a little longer.
He'll never be the same.
I should clarify: He had to get his own dinner, for a change.
Coffee by a fire, waiting to see dear daughter and spend day having FUN! Almost makes that 4:30 get up time good;)
Well good morning Wilderness people! It is Friday for me, ( I only normally work 4 days per week ) Har Har! I think it is going to be a nice lazy weekend around Wildthang acres. I think I will hang out in the cave some sweekend and build a work table for some projects I want to do.
What does everybody have planned for this weekend? I think Nessie is going to get some serious snow from what I'm hearing....................yipeeeee, get that shovel out Nessie:smartass:
Yeah, we're getting snow as well as out of town guests arriving tomorrow morning. Hopefully their flight won't be affected or their stay with us...too much running around to do. You don't come to NYC just to cool your heels at home. These are hard partying people so we'll be staying up past our bedtime, all for the sake of old times spent together down south.
Next time you hear from me, beware, I'll be typing tipsy.
So if those people are from the south, you can have a snowman party. After everybody gets tipsy, get them outside and build a snowman:smartass:
I think the girls are going to have 3 of their college BFF's out to spend the weekend with us, so we will probably be getting a little tipsy ourselves. The last time we did this I don't remember very much about the first night! Having 5 drunk girls in the house is a very interesting situation to say the least!
I bet I could find a picture of that.
